We use these for not only dishes, but in the shower too. When they get old, the green starts to come off, and you can't use on nonstick pans. We always cut them in half so they last longer. They're pretty regular sponges.

These sponges are a little pricey as compared to those that you can get at dollar stores. The quality of these are much better and will last you a little longer. Although, it's best to regularly rotate your sponges or disinfect them in the microwave. The real reason you get these is for pot scrubbing and these do the trick.

I use these everywhere- showers, sinks, floor, stove, fridge, and counters. The scrubbing side gets off touch spots and the sponge side is soft enough to clear even my thinnest glass tops! I buy in bulk and never let our house run out.
